Letter: Empty promises won’t help Griswold

I endorse Phil Anthony for Griswold first selectman. Since taking office six years ago, the angst that was prevalent in Griswold slowly disappeared. Anthony has calmly and steadfastly moved our infrastructure improvements, credit ratings, economic development and long-term conservation plans forward.

Kevin Skulczyck admits having no political experience. It begs the question, how could voters objectively support him based on his career experience as a prison guard, no municipal leadership experience and vanilla promises with no details?

Anthony has always been honest with residents and never made a promise he was not sure he could achieve. I prefer an honest answer, even if I do not like it, rather than hollow promises to win an election.

Please do not send us backwards hoping someone else will learn the ropes of government.
